Abstract

A pocket ramp for loading objects or cargo onto the floor of a vehicle and which is mounted between the longitudinally extending frame members of the vehicle. The pocket ramp assembly includes a main frame, a primary slide, a secondary slide, a lower ramp section, an upper ramp section and a latching mechanism which selectively locks the pocket ramp assembly in either of its stowed or operative positions. The main frame is fixed to the longitudinally extending frame members of the vehicle, the primary side being slidably mounted therein. The secondary slide is slidably mounted in the primary slide. The upper ramp section is pivotally mounted to the rearward end of the secondary slide and the lower ramp section is pivotally mounted to the rearward end of the upper ramp section.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]This invention relates to a pocket ramp assembly for loading objects or cargo onto the floor of a vehicle such as a truck or the like. More particularly, this invention relates to a pocket ramp assembly which is mounted between the longitudinally extending frame members of a vehicle and which includes a main frame, a primary slide, a secondary slide, an upper ramp section and a lower ramp section. Even more particularly, this invention relates to a latching mechanism which selectively locks the pocket ramp assembly in either of its stowed or operative positions.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]Loading ramps have long been used at the rear of a vehicle such as a truck or the like to enable cargo or objects to be either loaded onto the floor of the vehicle or to unload objects or cargo from the vehicle. In many cases, the ramp is comprised of a single elongated ramp member with the forward end thereof being po...
